Just let the High praises of God flow from your fingertips! Onto the Y/A webpages! Jesus loves to hear the praises of His people! So tell us what has God done for you lately?

Is it just me, or do you get incensed at how inane and incapable of basic logical thought some of the theists here are?

I swear, sometimes I just wish I could blow their brains out -- I'm not making a threat, and I don't mean permanently, mind you; just strike them dead for maybe five minutes or so, then revive them and go, "THERE, you SEE?!?! NO GOD, NO SOULS, NO AFTERLIFE!!! You're MEAT, UNDERSTAND?!?! NOW SHUT THE F*CK UP UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!"

Probably wouldn't make any difference anyhow; in another thread of mine they demonstrated that the biblegod himself could come down from heaven and tell them their bible was a fraud, and they'd still insist that they knew better....

Dunno...is there some way of requiring taking a class in Logic & Debate 101 before allowing folks in here?

instead of fighting eachother, and insisting that our own teachings are the right ones, we basically center on the same morals. So instead of trying to prove out religion the correct one, why not try and unite all religions, and together create a peaceful world?

there are many questions LIKE this but not exactly...

Science has just found 3 more planets past pluto...for the past billions of years, we've believed there were just nine but now there are 12...unbelievable...

now, my question....

Is God the great one or is it just that our technology just hasn't been at it's best?

when our technology does get to that "great" point, will we be able to explain every question asked without using "God"?




some may know this already but, i'm NOT a christian...yet...i'm exploring christianity and learning more about God and his wonders. i'm just wondering about one thing.

That's Atheist CONTINGENT, not to be confused with Atheists and Co.

Well anyway, entertained by the "housewife and the mustard stain story" (which the atheists had promised was absolutely FAITH SHATTERING) I went back for more to see if my faith in the Risen Lord could withstand further attacks. WHEW! It still has, but I must issue a warning.

Believers BEWARE. Do *not* go to that website without the keen spiritual discernment to escape snares such as the following:

QUOTE:
What if Jesus tells stories that are completely untrue? For example, take Matthew 4:8 as an example: [ed: Now THAT's putting the repetition back into redundancy.] "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor." The problem with this story is that the earth must be flat for it to work. From a tall mountain it is impossible to see "all the kingdoms."
ENDQUOTE

A spiritual vision is unimaginable for the spiritually blind, I suppose.

If the answer is no. Why do you have a relationship with God?

ASSUMING he created the universe is not an answer

Agnostic here, not wanting to convert anyone. If you believe the Bible is the word for word of God and morality is set in stone, this question really isn't for you, please hit the back button on your browser.

So, to people left who are religious and non-religious, what is your basis for morality and ethics.

If you say the Bible I respect that 100%; but would ask, how do you determine which parts apply today, and weren't put there based on the bias of the author/translator. One of the reasons I asked fundamentalists to not answer this question is their answers are all going to be the same, Bible is the word of God and Jesus blah blah, so for "real people" and not "robots"; do you have a criteria.

Other religions who don't take their religious book word for word, the same applies to you and your faith. What is the basis of morality.

For non-religious, what is your basis of morality?

If the question doesn't make sense, I apologize. Limited room.

There were seven books of the bible that Martain Luther King and others claimed were not inspired by God. The books Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch. Does anyone know the reasons we desided these were not inspired by God?

The Church is known for blatant appeals for money from believers and non-believers alike. The Church is incorporated as a profit-making enterprise, and declares itself to be "the only religion that is proud to pay its taxes." Anyone can become an ordained SubGenius minister by paying a fee of $30 US for a lifetime membership. No other requirement is laid upon prospective members, though the cost of ordainment separates the Church from the Universal Life Church and other paper churches that offer ordination to all comers. The Church of the SubGenius is known for a standing offer that stems from the ordainment fee: "Eternal Salvation or TRIPLE Your Money Back!"

How can we tell which are the fastest growing when theres no means of tracking this? For example, the US Census keeps track of race but not religious status. Worldwide there are no real measures, only poor guesses.

However, every single Muslim you will ever meet, every single one, will tell you Islam is the fastest growing. Try this, ask them exactly where they get that, you will get a real laugh at listening to the poor ignorant Muslim jumbles his little eyes in his head and give you some pathetic reply.

Its amazing when you think about it. Literally almost every single Muslim, 99.9999% believes with absolute certainty Islam is the fastest growing....without the slightest shred of proof, merely the Imam or brother Ali's passionate assertion.

Suppose its true. Why would it even matter with respect to religious validity. Muslims always throw it out there in the context of proof for Islam.

Maybe we should all jump from one fast growing religion to the next.

what does the repetition of something in your life mean? ex: someone keeps seeing the name john everywhere, or someone keeps seeing the number 12 everywhere. sounds strange but twice today i've seen things randomly shaped to form a heart.

This is very interesting what I've been reading about Mormons and what a lot of people have to say..... Lots of negative words. Well this is how I see. For those of you who don't know a darn thing about the LDS and the history. A little advise don't play with fire cause you will get burned. I also know that when people don't have a darn thing nice to say or DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING they always have to come back with something negative to say. Its very disrespectful to be judging a religion. Only God can judge you.

For all the LDS members that took the time to explain what the LDS is all about. I thank you, because I know there's a lot of people that really need to be educated since they talk so much trash about something they have NO CLUE what its all about.
